Note
• When winding transparent nylon thread on the
bobbin, stop bobbin winding when the bobbin is
1/2 to 2/3 full. If the bobbin was fully wound with
transparent nylon thread, it may not be wound
neatly, or sewing performance may suffer. In
addition, extreme pressure may be applied to the
bobbin, it may not be possible to remove the
bobbin from the bobbin winder shaft, or the
bobbin may break.
CAUTION
• When the bobbin winding becomes slow, stop
the machine, otherwise the machine may be
damaged.
Memo
• If the threads will be pulled to create gathers or the
thread at the beginning of sewing will be finished,
for example, when free motion quilting, first pull up
the bobbin thread.
For details, refer to “Pulling up the bobbin thread”
on page 29.
CAUTION
• Use a bobbin that has been correctly wound
with thread, otherwise the needle may break
or the thread tension will be incorrect.
• Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be
sure that you have pressed
on the
operation panel to lock all keys and buttons,
otherwise injuries may occur if the “Start/
Stop” button or any other button is pressed
and the machine starts.
